LAMP-GLOBE FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec.- 19, 1916.

Application filed July 7, 1915. Serial No. 33,454.

To all whom it may concern Be it known ,that I, EUGENE (3001111201, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Globe Fixtures, of wh'ch the following is a specification.

This invention relates to fixtures for suspending lamp globes or-the like. v

Ordinarily, suspended globes used in ind-irect' or' semi-indirect lighting are suspended by means of chains which are con nected to the globe by hooks or other de vices engaging in holes drilled in the shade. Thisis objectionable because of the expense of drilling the holes and also because expensive globes are often broken in the drilling provided with the device.

'clip or connection between the globe with which it is unnecessary to the cl p engaging operation.

The object of the invention is to avoid these defects, by providing an improved the chains and drill holes in the latter, the rim or flange of the globe and having a bend or loop to pass through the lower link of the chain, the clip being retained on the rim by a spring gripping action.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is aside elevation of a fixture Fig.2 is a detail in section.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 6 indicates the lamp shade or bowl and 7 the chains bywhich it is suspended. Each chain is connected to the bowl by means of a clip' which may be made of a strip of spring metal-,bent to form a lower arm 8 and an upper'arm 9 which latter is formed near its inner. end into a bend or loop 10 wvith an end or extremity 11- projecting 1n- :and serving to prevent the clip from accidentally slipping ,ofl? of the rim of the globe. The ordinary inclination. of the chains, toward a central point above, also tends to draw the clip inwardly on the globe rim and assists in preventing accidental detachment thereof. By special effort the clip can he slipped off of-the rim, permitting the globe to be easily detached and removed, for cleaning or other purposes.

By the means described the globe can be easily andquicklyattached to the suspending chains, and drilling of holes in the globe is unnecessary.

What I claimas new is':'

A clip .for shade hangers comprising a single strip of metal bent to form upper and lower arms with a spring connection at their outer ends whereby the arms will closely engage the upper and lower surfaces of the rim of a shade, the upper arm hav ing a loop at its inner end to receive a suspending devlce and a downwardly projecting finger at the inner end of the loop, to engage within said rim, and the inner end of the lower arm being, extended downwardly to fit against the outer side of the shade.

In testimony whereof, I aflix'my signature in presence'ot two witnesses.
